Compare the training camp costs of top boxers and top MMA fighters, and you will see which is more expensive. Also expensive golf my ass. There are a bunch of these martial arts places which are pretty cheap for beginers, and the guys in college you talked about were there since they probably had wrestling scholarships. There are no boxing scholarships. Also wasn't GSP on welfare and broke running around in Montreal?

Your posts again, are flawed. MMA doesn't have the history that boxing has. There aren't any "old timers" out there yet to give free MMA lessons. More kids do MMA in the living room of their parents home then you think. It's much easier to grapple then it is to box. It takes no equipment and nobody gets hurt.
And sorry to tell you, boxing IS the same as it was in the 80's.

I like how you dodged all of my post which contained actual substance.Last edited by Drunken Cat; 08-15-2009, 02:30 PM.

That's a ****ty proverb you probably pulled out of your ass.
Anyways, your premise is basically boxing is for poor people and MMA is for others who are better off in the economic ladder. You speak in way too many generalities and extremes to be taken seriously.

You act as though people who go to college are inherently soft. This is typical intellectual-phobia. I wonder if you also feel threatened by people whom you perceive as more intelligent than yourself.

Stupid thread, who cares where the fighters come from??Who cares if boxers come from the ghetto and MMA fighters come from stable familys that **** doesn't matter.
People like MMA because it has everything; boxing,wrestling,muay thai, submissions,knees to the face,elbows, arms getting snapped out of their sockets, fighters getting chocked unconsience..that's why it getting so popular, because it's the ultimate fight sport.Last edited by Hotsoup; 08-15-2009, 02:32 PM.

We need to start thinking outside of our own country yall.
There are streets in Brazil and Thailand that make Harlem look like Disneyland.
